Trees & Leaves WLSC

    Hi Everyone my DT make today is for 

We Love Stamping

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme from Emma

Trees & Leaves

 

 

I really didn't know what to go with, as I have a few trees, but decided to use this stamp and a simple sketch from CTS #181

I stamped the mountains and trees onto a scrap piece of white card, then coloured them with DI's. Next I stamped the 3 trees, and coloured those, and fussy cut them. I went looking for some card to match, for the images, and found an embossed piece of card that I thought matched well. 

 

Then for a sentiment, I thought this one was suitable, as even if life throws things upside down, Nature is still wonderful. It was stamped directly onto the base card.

 

I attached the separate trees to the image, and these were then attached to the base card. A very simple card.

Sun, Sea, Sand WLSC Mid Month

 

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme from Me, Myself, and I, Yours Truly! -

Sun, Sea, Sand

 

We were asked to write a little about ourselves and our crafting,  see my post on the 7th, to read it if you're interested?

Anyhow, my masculine cards today came about by a website, showing me images of products I may be interested in, I certainly was, and they were on offer, so bought them. I had Pirates in mind, I really don't know why, except they ruled the waves at one time. 

I searched for a map in my files, and came across this coloured, but blank cut edge map.  It's a Photoshop free download. I sent it into my Silhouette program and cut it out, Yep! I hate fussy cutting that much. These are the cards, with description above each card below.

 

ship stamp - Globeland, Amazon

all other stamps and dies - Nautical Collection by Sara Davies, all mag freebies

inks - Distress Inks, lots

white pen - Uniball Angelic White

I stamped the ship and other nautical stamps onto the "map" after I had ink blended the edge of it, then coloured them with DI's and a white gel pen. I die cut the anchor and tied a naval knot with jute cord. Stamped and die cut a sentiment, and it was done.

 

My second card, used the same set of stamps, the seahorse die is also in the Magazine freebie, Sara Davies Nautical set

I enjoyed it so much, I decided to do another with one of the other stamps. They were both done with the same map. Then I added different stamps and a seahorse die, cut out of white card and blended to match. I looked up the colour of the seahorse, and if they live at the bottom of the sea amongst the sand, they are the same colour as the sand, very handy for my card. I added gems to the treasure chest, and a different naval knot, in red, to match the jewels.  Sorry I have forgotten, what the knots are.

 

Don't forget, we now require At least one stamped element on entries. Those of you like us, who love to stamp, we would still love you to enter your fully stamped entry.

Two prizes from Craft Stash, paper pads and stamps
